Description
- The present invention relates to an insulating wall system for a building structure, wherein said wall system comprises a first wall having an exterior surface with insulation material attached to said exterior surface of said first wall by elongated fastening members extending substantially perpendicular to the exterior surface through at least one support member of a second wall and the insulation material and being fixed to the first wall.
- An insulating wall system of such kind is known from
DE 197 03 874 A1 . The insulating wall system disclosed therein is a vertical wooden outer wall structure of a building construction, where insulation slabs are fixed to the wooden inner wall by a number of support beams that are positioned on the outside of the insulation and secured to the inner wall by a number of screws penetrating through the insulation material with an angle of 60° to 80° relative to horizontal. A building facade is mounted on the support beams. Hereby, the screws can transfer the weight of the outer façade structure onto the inner wall, which is mounted on a building base structure. - This type of wall system is suitable for mounting of an outer wall insulation cover of existing building, but is limited to the amount of insulation material that can be mounted due to the required length of the screws.
- However, in order to meet modern requirements to the insulation thickness of buildings, which may be up to 300 mm or more, it is difficult to design suitable screws that can penetrate the insulation layer in an inclined angle, as these must be exceptionally long and thereby difficult to handle and ensure that they are properly fastened onto the inner wall behind the insulation.
- Further it is readily acknowledged in the building industry that the amount of penetrations of the insulation cover must be limited in order to avoid jeopardising the insulating effect of the insulation cover.
- From
EP 0 191 144 andWO 99/35350 - A wall system comprising all of the features of the preamble of
claim 1 is known fromCA-A-1 205 970 . - On this background, it is an object of the present invention to provide an insulated wall system which suitably allows for a relative thick insulation layer to be mounted and which is easy to mount.
- This object is achieved by a wall system according to
claim 1. - Hereby, frictional forces between the insulation member and the first wall and the second wall, respectively, are provided that are sufficient to transfer the weight of the second wall to the first wall exclusively by establishing a friction force between the insulation and the second wall and between the insulation and the first wall. According to the invention, the insulation material is utilised as an active component in the wall system.
- By the term friction is meant the action of the surface of the support member and the insulation abutting each another. Accordingly, the frictional forces are the resistance between the surface of the profile and the insulation preventing a relative movement there between. The frictional surface of the support member may comprise a rough surface structure and/or discrete minor compressions in the insulation surface, e.g. provided by separate protrusions provided on the surface of the support member.
- By the invention, a wall system is provided which is easy to install and less time consuming to install compared to the known wall systems. The wall system according to the invention includes fewer components and may provide an improved insulation as the components constituting thermal bridging may be reduced.
- One further advantageous of the invention is that it will be easy to adjust the exact position of the outer wall cover such that all cover elements of the outer wall are flush with each other. This can be done by increasing the pre-stress of the insulation member in selected areas.
- According to the invention, the insulation material is compressed and thereby providing the pre-stressed mounting of the fastening members, said compression preferably being between 1.2% and 3.2%, and more preferably between 1.6% and 2.4%. According to a preferred embodiment, the predetermined tension is substantially twice the size of the required friction forces.
- In a further preferred embodiment, the thickness and the resiliency of the insulation material are interrelated in such a way that for all thicknesses of the insulation material a compression with one specific force will give an impression in the insulation material of one and the same distance. This means that a thin insulation material must be relatively more resilient per mm, than a thicker insulation material.
- In a preferred embodiment, the elongated fastening members are screws that preferably are horizontally orientated. By using suitably designed screws, the screws may be easy to mount with a predetermined tension. The screws may also be standardised screws which are mounted with a torque-limiting means to ensure the correct tension.
- In the preferred embodiment, the insulation material includes at least one layer of insulation boards. The insulation material may be glass or stone fibres or any fibrous material, and also foam products such as EPS or XPS, or any combination of products may be applied. In particular, the insulation material is preferably mineral fibre boards, preferably having a density of 50 to 100 kg/m3, more preferably approx. 70 kg/m3. The insulation material may include two layers for providing extra thickness of the insulation.
- In an embodiment of the invention, at least one of the insulation board layers may include dual density mineral fibrous boards. Hereby, the relation between friction and compression may be manipulated.
- In the preferred first embodiment of the invention, the first wall is an inner wall and the second wall is an outer wall of the building structure. The second wall includes one or more support members and a building cover structure mounted on said support beams. The inner wall may be a wooden structure or a concrete wall, lime stone wall or the like.
- The support members may be carrying a wooden building cover. Other cover materials may be fibre cement, compressed fibre materials, glass or metal, but preferably cover materials less than 5 cm in thickness. However other facade structures may be used.
- By the invention, it is realised that the wall system according to the invention alternatively may be an internal wall of the building structure or that the first wall and the second wall constitutes a roof structure of the building structure.

Figure 1 shows a wall system according to an embodiment of the invention. According tofig. 1 , afirst wall 1 is provided, said first wall being an inner wall in the present embodiment. On theoutside surface 11 of thisinner wall 1, slabs offibrous insulation 2 are provided, and thisinsulation material 2 is fixed to theinner wall 1 by a number of fasteningmembers 3 which are mounted through an outerwall support member 42 of theouter wall 4 and through theinsulation 2. Thesecond wall 4, in the present embodiment theouter wall 4, further includes anexternal wall cover 43 which may be facade panels or wooden cover or the like, which are mounted on the preferably vertically disposedelongated support members 42. - In the example shown in
figure 1 , a wooden wall structure is shown. However, it is realised that other materials may be used without departing from the scope of the invention. - In order to meet predetermined heat insulation requirements of a specific wall structure, one or more layers of
insulation material 2 may be provided. As an example, two layers ofinsulation material 2', 2" are shown infigure 1 . - The
fastening members 3 are screws which are mounted with pre-stressed, i.e. with a permanent tension load provided in thescrews 3 deriving from a compression of theinsulation material 2 and the elastic properties of such material. - As a result of the permanent tension in the fastening screws 3, a normal force Fn is created between the
outer surface 22 of theinsulation material 2 and theinner surface 41 of theouter wall structure 4. The same normal force is also created between theinner surface 21 of theinsulation material 2 and theexternal surface 11 of theinner wall 1. This means that a friction force Ff is established whereby the load Wo of theouter wall 4 is transferred to theinner wall 1, which - as shown infigure 2 - is mounted on a building foundation 6 in the ground 7. Hereby, the weight Ft of the entire wall system is transferred to the foundation through the inner wall. In other circumstances, the weight and the load of the insulation material Fi may be transferred to the foundation (not shown infig. 2 ) if the foundation is dimensioned to extend beneath the insulation, and the insulation is mounted resting on the foundation 6. - By a wall system according to the invention, the required size of ,the foundation may be reduced and a thermal bridge through the foundation may be avoided or at least reduced by a wall system according to the invention.
- In
figures 3 to 6 , a second embodiment of the invention is shown. In this embodiment, ametal profile 420 is provided assupport member 42 in the wall system. Thisprofile 420 is advantageous as if is made from a fire-proof material, in particular steel, preferably corrosion-resistant steel, galvanised steel or the like. Theprofile 420 is formed with a centralinsulation engagement portion 422 and two building coverstructure receiving surfaces 421 on each side of thecentral portion 422. The buildingcover receiving surfaces 421 are formed in a plane parallel with the centralinsulation abutting portion 422 and as shown infig. 4 connectingportions 426 are formed which are formed as a bend in the sheet material with respect to thecentral portion 422, which provides extra stiffness to theprofile 420. On the outside of the buildingcover receiving surfaces 421outer portions 427 which are substantially perpendicular to the building cover receiving surfaces 421. The particular cross-sectional shape of theprofile 420, as shown infig. 4 , provides the profile with a stiffness that ensures an even distribution of the friction forces when theprofile 420 is mounted in the wall system sandwiching theinsulation material 2 between theprofile 420 and thefirst wall 1. Theprofile 420 is formed with a specific shape providing sufficient stiffness so that theprofile 420 does substantially not bend along its longitudinal axis when fitted bypre-stressed fasteners 3. In thecentral portion 422 of theprofile 420 there is provided mountingholes 424 and friction enhancing knobs such as an array of rearwardly extendingembossings 423. By the profile 420 a uniform contact between theprofile 420 and the insulation 2 (seefig. 7 ). - With reference to
fig. 6 , to further ensure the even distribution of the pre-determined compression of theinsulation material 2,disks 425 are mounted over the mountingholes 424 so the tension of thefasteners 3 is transferred via the fastener heads 31 to thedisks 425 and onto thecentral portion 422 of theprofile 420. Thedisks 425 are of a size covering a substantial portion around the mounting holes 424. Theprofiles 420 are preferably made in a steel plate material with a thickness of 0.5-2 mm and the thickness of the corresponding disks is preferably 2-5 mm. - By this embodiment it is advantageously ensured that the required number of mounting holes, i.e. fastening points is determined by the wind load on the building structure and not primarily in order to establish the required friction. It is found that the required friction may be established with relative few fastening points.
- The insulation material may be foam or mineral fibre wool. Further, it is found that two layers of
insulation material 2', 2" may be fitted in a wall system according to the invention. In a preferred embodiment, theinsulation material 2 may be mineral fibre wool with a density of 50 to 150 kg/m3, more preferably 70 to 150 kg/m3. most preferably approx. 100 kg/m3. It is found advantageous that the hardness of the surface of the mineral fibre wool is relative hard. Accordingly, in a preferred embodiment; the surface area, e.g. the outermost 20 mm of the mineral fibre batts, is provided with a higher density, e.g. 180 kg/m3. - The
second wall 4 is mounted either directly or indirectly onto theprofiles 420 constituting thesupport members 42 in the wall system. By a wall system according to this second embodiment, the load carrying capability is sufficiently high enabling the system according to the invention to carry wooden, concrete, stone tiles or other building cover materials, i.e. a load of up to 80-100 kg/m2. - With reference to
fig. 7 , thewall 1 is supplied with a layer ofinsulation 2 which is mounted onto the outer side of thewall 1 by a number ofsupport profiles 420 which are secured to thewall 1 by fasteners pierced through theinsulation 2 and mounted with a predetermined amount of tension thereby slightly compressing theinsulation 2 and establishing a frictional force between thewall 1 and theinsulation 2 and between theinsulation 2 and theprofiles 420. Theprofiles 420 are moreover designed for supporting the outer skin of the building, i.e. the outer wall structure (not shown infig. 7 ). - In order to determine the friction forces which might be obtained, tests for measuring the friction was set up. It was the object to determine the friction coefficient as well as measuring the normal forces that are obtainable by compression, i.e. deformation, of the insulation material.
- The wall system used for the test included a wooden inner wall and vertical wooden beams with a wooden outer cover fixed to the beams. The insulation between the inner and outer wall was a fibrous mineral insulation with a density of 70 kg/m3 and a thickness of 250 mm.
- The normal force Fn, i.e. the force that determines the friction force F between the walls and the insulation by the equation:
- Ff = Fn x µ,
- where the friction force Ff equals the load of the facade, i.e. the outer all cover; the normal force Fn is established by the tension load on the pre-stressed fastening screws; and
- µ
- is the static coefficient of friction of the materials and the surface textures of the materials involved, i.e. the insulation material and the wall material.
- The friction coefficient was found to be µ = 0.55 with a variation of 0.04.
- The measurements illustrating the relationship were found between the deformation of the fibrous insulation slap and the normal force Fn are listed in table 1, see below.
Table 1 Deformation [mm] Proportional deformation Normal force [kN/m] Deformation [mm] Proportional deformation Normal force [kN/m] 0 0 % 0 8 3.2 % 1,38 1 0.4 % 0,1 9 3.6 % 1,5 2 0.8 % 0,27 10 4.0 % 1,7 3 1.2 % 0,41 20 8 % 2,75 4 1.6 % 0,6 40 16 % 3,85 5 2.0 % 0,8 60 24 % 4,45 6 2.4 % 1 80 32 % 5 7 2.8% 1,2 100 40 % 5,4 - In accordance with the measurements in table 1, it is found that a sufficient friction force may be established by a compressing of the 250 mm thick insulation approx. 3-8 mm and more preferably a compression between 4-6 mm for a 250 mm insulation thickness. This corresponds to a proportional springy compression of 1.2 - 3.2%, more preferably 1.6 - 2.4%. Hereby, a sufficient friction force is achieved by a relatively small compression so that the insulation effect is not compromised.
- For practical calculation purposes, the value of the coefficient of friction between fibrous insulation material and a wooden surface may be set to µ = 0.5, resulting in a friction force of approximately half of the normal force. The friction may be increased depending on the texture of the surface of the wall. The surface texture may be manipulated for this purpose by e.g. providing a rough surface, a coating material, such as a special paint or a coating of the
outer wall member 42 of e.g. a rubber material, tape, plastic or even glue, etc. In any case, the tension of the fastening screws 3 is of a predetermined value sufficiently high to establish the required friction forces to carry theouter wall structure 4. By providing a friction enhancing surface manipulation of the wall surfaces 11, 41, the required tension in thescrews 3 may be reduced. - In order to determine the friction forces between mineral fibre insulation material and a steel profile as shown in
figures 3 to 6 , a test for measuring the friction was set up. It was the object to determine the friction coefficient as well as measuring the required tensile forces in the longitudinal direction and in the transverse direction of the profile in order to cause displacement of the profile. - Two test setups were used: (1) Tensile force directed in the longitudinal direction of the batts, (2) tensile force in the transverse direction of the batts. The weights are placed equally spaced on the section steel profile bar to simulate the effect of the pre-stressed fasteners according to the invention. The batts were secured against displacement. The section steel profile was connected to a load transducer and a hydraulic cylinder. An electronic displacement transducer was used to measure the displacement of the board. The transducers are connected to an amplifier and a PC for data acquisition.
- The tensile force necessary to move the board versus the displacement was measured for different loads in both the transverse and the longitudinal direction. Table 2 below shows the maximum tensile force for different loads:
Table 2 Load [kg/m] Maximum tensile force [kg/m] Longitudinal Transverse 10 19,3 15,9 20 32,7 30,7 30 45,8 46,7 40 67,4 58,9 50 73,0 74,5 60 73,6 88,8 70 83,9 91,4 100 108,0 109,0 150 122,0 137,0 200 165,0 158,0 -
- H is measured tensile force [in kg]
- V is the load [in kg]
- G is the weight of steel profile [in kg]
- From the tensile forces the maximum coefficient of friction are calculated as shown in table 3.
Table 3 Load [kg/m] Coefficient of friction - µ Longitudinal Transverse 10 1.36 1.12 20 1.35 1.27 30 1.34 1.36 40 1.52 1.33 50 1.35 1.37 60 1.15 1.38 70 1.13 1.23 100 1.04 1.05 150 0.79 0.89 200 0.81 0.77 - The measured and calculated results of tables 2 and 3 are shown graphically in
figures 8 and 9 . - As it is apparent from
fig. 9 , the calculated coefficient of friction on the basis of the measured test results ranges from approx. 0.77 to 1.52 and the friction between the mineral fibre wool and the profile is similar for both the transverse and the longitudinal directions. - Above, the invention is described with reference to a vertical side wall structure. However, by the invention, it is realised that other wall structures may be provided with pre-stressed tension screws as prescribed by the invention. Examples thereof could be a roof structure. The wall system may also be used for internal walls in a building structure, where a partitioning wall must be provided with heat, sound and/or fire insulation.
